Run programmes only with a full
load
Wait to run a programme until the dishwasher is full, this
way you save energy. Use the Rinse & Hold programme
to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours
while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Run programmes at a lower
temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a lower
temperature with certain programmes. See also the
section Select options in the chapter Dishwashing.
Select a programme with Short dry
To save energy, use Short dry. The drying result will be
better if, once the programme is finished, you leave the
door slightly open.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the
dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max. 70 °C)...
If you use district heating, solar power or geothermal
power to heat your home. Choosing a hot water
connection cuts programme times and reduces the
dishwasher's electricity consumption.
